Uropathogens Based on Antibiotic Susceptibility

초록

Urinary tract infections are one of the most commonly encountered infections in clinical practice. Due to the emergence of and increase in urinary tract bacteria that are resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, penicillin, cephalosporins, and fluoroquinolones, selection of appropriate antibiotics in treatment of these infections is important. In addition, the emergence of extended-spectrum beta lactamase-producing organisms makes antibiotic selection difficult. This article provides a review of disease-specific uropathogens and their susceptibilities to antimicrobial agents.
